Chance is a pretty high flyer these days. Last year he did the music for a short that won the Academy Award for best animated short, and the audio was just about all music and sound effects. Chance is one of those who do not have to do a lot of MIDI because his main instrument is the live orchestra. And he is a great guy too.

Re: Game Audio Music Links Only

I have that soundtrack and it's one of the most impressive - pure orchestra - performance ever done to a game.

With motifs and parts directly quoted from Mars Bringer of War (Gustav Holst - Planet Suite) and Richard Wagner - Tristam and Isolde (Prologue), some operas and probably more.

Thats probably the most evolved, magical, mysterious, shocking Score I've heard for a game.
Listen to Ancients & The Siege- Epic!
Can it get any better?

And for any further Diablo fans, did you notice that Blizzard kept on that pure orchestra style for Diablo 3? The down-part is that such strong music tends to get "on your nervs" pretty quick, but maybe they have a lot variation.
